Chappy The Brave Seal Pup Found Wandering The Streets Of Connecticut Loses His Fight For Life
A baby seal named Chappy who was rescued from the middle of the road in New Haven, Connecticut has sadly passed away despite winning hordes of fans with his brave battle for life. Chappy was found stranded on the streets by the New Haven Police Department on 16 February. He was suffering from dehydration, malnutrition, and a mild pneumonia and so was moved down the coast to Mystic Aquarium in the hope he could recover. However, on 3 March, staff at the Aquarium announced he had sadly passed away. “It’s with the heaviest of hearts that we share the passing of Chappy, the gray seal pup we had been treating in our Animal Rescue Clinic,” aquarium staff shared on social media. They added: “He initially responded well to treatment, his condition declined in the subsequent days as he was transitioned onto whole fish and began having digestive difficulties.” “Unfortunately, despite all the efforts, his gastrointestinal issues were too severe to treat, and he succumbed to his disease.” A necropsy found he had mesenteric torsion, meaning that his intestines were twisted around the mesentery, cutting off blood supply to a large portion of the gastrointestinal tract. Mourning the brave seal pup, they added: “The Mystic Aquarium staff are proud that they were able to give Chappy the best chance possible and are devastated by this outcome.”
Naugatuck Police say one person has been arrested after a multi-car accident on Route 63 Saturday afternoon.
According to police, they responded to the area of Route 63 and Cherry Street around 1 p.m. for reports of a collision with injuries.
They say a 30-year-old man from Waterbury was arrested and charged with operating under the influence of drugs/alcohol, operating under the influence with a child passenger, illegal possession of prescription drugs, failure to keep narcotics in the original container, risk of injury to a child and distracted driving.
Police say he is being held on a $10,000 Surety Bond.
This is all the information at this time.
